Sunrisers Hyderabad have released the list of their retained players for IPL 2025. Hyderabad surprised everyone by spending Rs 23 crore on a single player. The big news is that this team has retained five players for whom Hyderabad has spent Rs 75 crore. However, Hyderabad have created a solid foundation for their team by spending such a huge amount. Hyderabad have retained three foreign players including captain Pat Cummins. However, he has given more money to a batsman than his captain.
Sunrisers Hyderabad retained these players
Apart from Pat Cummins, Sunrisers Hyderabad have retained batsman Heinrich Klaasen. Apart from him, Australian batsman Travis Head has been roped in. Sunrisers Hyderabad have also signed two young Indian players, Nitish Reddy and Abhishek Sharma. Now let’s talk about money and the team owner, Kavya Maran, was the one who gave the most money to Heinrich Klaasen. The team has signed Klaasen for a hefty sum of Rs 23 crore. Klaasen is a big match winner for the team and is very effective against spinners on Indian pitches and that is why Hyderabad spent so much money on him.
Money also fell on Cummins Head
Apart from Klaasen, Hyderabad signed Pat Cummins for Rs 18 crore. The team signed Travis Head for 14 million rupees. Indian batsman Abhishek Sharma has been signed by the team for a hefty sum of Rs 14 crore. Hyderabad signed Nitish Reddy for Rs 6 crore.
